With the infamy of Pearl Harbor still fresh in their minds, the men of the U.S. Pacific Fleet waited for the Japanese Imperial Navy at Midway Island. This time, however, the element of surprise had shifted, and the American troops would be the victors of a battle that marked the turning point of the war in the Pacific. Like At Dawn We Slept, Miracle at Midway brings together eyewitness accounts from the men who commanded and the men who fought on both sides.

In 1421, the largest fleet the world had ever seen sailed from its base in China. The ships, huge junks nearly 500 feet long and built from the finest teak, were under the command of Emperor Zhu Di's loyal eunuch admirals.

These world-renowned authorities on manufacturing and technology base their conclusion on studies of hundreds of American and foreign firms.
